I've gone hybrid for todo lists. Handwritten in GoodNotes on iPad. Seems to give me the best of both worlds - better memory retention that comes from physically writing stuff down, but with search and copy/paste functionality.

Current side project is an API for holding event/venue data. My own use case is a ticketmaster-style service for small venues and free gigs, but I'm trying to keep it flexible enough for the same API to be used across multiple ser

I'm in the UK and mostly work with UK domains, so I became a Nominet registrar a couple of years ago, so now I manage my own domains and DNS servers.

I currently own about 220 domains, of which I'm actively using about 10 and have plans for maybe 20 more.

When I was 25 I quit because my current role wasn't giving me any more opportunity to progress, and I'd just sold a house after a relationship ended, so I had the financial freedom to coast for a few months for another opportunity

Sadly not. Seeding is entirely down to individual instances and their own redundancy policy. I suspect the issue is that PeerTube is getting a NAT IP instead of properly determining its own external IP, which is causing problems streaming w

That's interesting, thanks for the heads up. I'll do a bit of experimenting to see if I can replicate with some less popular videos which aren't likely to have a redundant copy anywhere.

PeerTube.co.uk admin here. Your video alerted me to the fact that my view stats aren't working properly - I've had over 1000 visits today, usual is less than 100. Most of those have your video as the entry point, but those numbers

Wake 90 minutes before work. Snooze the alarm repeatedly until an hour before work. Quick shower and dress. Leave the house 40 minutes before work. Either listen to a podcast or contemplate life as I walk my two mile commute. Get to work an

I fill the washing up bowl (or just the sink for the Americans) with hot water while my food is cooking. This has quite a few advantages: 1. It breaks the psychological barrier of actually starting the task of washing up, and because I&#x27

We can easily narrow down the correct answer to "none of the above", which leaves 5 or 6. But since 5 is above 6 and is a correct answer, 6 cannot be correct. So it must be 5.

A combination. For any preordered domains, I poll the domain until it drops and automatically register it using the API. Each day I'll review upcoming drops for the next day for anything I want to chase myself, and also review the drop

Not entirely passive, but I'm a Nominet registrar and buy/sell domains as my side gig. For the most part, this involves taking preorders for domains which have expired and are about to drop, then trying to catch them when they do.

I bought a few themes from https://themes.getbootstrap.com . You'll need to do a bit of work to shoehorn them into your CMS of choice but it's not that hard.

It might not have been a toy in the Fisher-Price sense of the word, but in 1998 it was only a couple of years into the mainstream, and had a long history of being the preserve of geeks and hobbyists. Big business was only just starting to t

A combination of: - A shared Outlook.com calendar where we (well, mostly my wife) puts social events and commitments - Hugo/git as a general KB for work related stuff - Microsoft Teams as a day-to-day journal and tracking of personal p

I created a Hugo site to keep everything in. It allows me to keep the speed of quick, simple capture in VS Code, but also presents the content nicely and makes it permanently available wherever I am.

$50 for a bug sweeping device that I can use anywhere? Sure, that's cheap enough for what would basically be a toy. $50 a time for somebody to sweep my room? Nope. If somebody really wants to know what I get up to in a hotel room, more

Maybe, the point is not to make it easy. Maybe the point is to make you think "Hey, there's no safe way for me to navigate through 10 different screens to get to my GPS while I'm driving. Maybe I should pull over and do that

$10/month is at the high end of what I'd consider paying for a note app - that's more than Microsoft Office. $2.50 is a bargain, but I don't want to pay for 5 years at once (although I can certainly understand the reason
